La Shikitele, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV, has refuted allegations of his involvement in the demolition of structures at the Laboma Beach Resort.

Despite claims that he ordered the demolition and destroyed businesses, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV maintained that he had no part in the actions. He pointed out that the management had allegedly ignored official directives, leading to the demolition. Nii Adjei Koofeh IV questioned why he would be blamed when authorities had repeatedly instructed the developers to stop construction.

Nii Adjei Koofeh IV suggested that the real culprits should be targeted, urging those affected by the demolition to direct their concerns to those who facilitated the land transactions.
